3.0 out of 5 stars Has problems with Panther (10.3), September 5, 2004

This review is from: Dantz Dev. RETROSPECT DESKTOP MAC 5.1 ( BU10A510000 ) (CD-ROM)

I got Retrospect Express (OEM) 5.1 with purchase of a Maxtor A01A250 firewire drive. The Maxtor info didn't mention the version number of Retrospect Express shipping with the drive. After installing Retrospect, I discovered that it didn't perform automatic backups properly under OS X 10.3 (Panther) when you have fast user switching enabled. The Dantz site has a tech support page that describes these problems with 5.1 and Panther. Unfortunately, the only option for solving this problem is to upgrade to Dantz Retrospect Desktop 6.0 (Mac) which costs $50.
